THE WEEVIL GETS fN JKIS WORK.
—— ' t it!', •-i
Cotton experts at the beginning of (lie
present cotton season gave warning that
unless the farmers of North Carolina took
difestic steps to block its progress, the
boll weevil was going to cause great
\ damage in this Ntate this year. The |
warning has been fulfilled. Cotton ex
perts now tell ns that the eotton crop
in this State has suffered its greatest
setback in history during the past sev
eral weeks, and the weevil is given cred
it for most of the damage.
The North Carolina cotton crop hud a
wonderful start. In this county as in
other eotton counties of the State a big
crop was predicted. It is now known
that the crop will not be more than 75
per cent, and that much only in certain
spots.
The crop this year has been spotted
in this county as it bus been throughout
the belt. Some sections of this country
have not had the weevil in great abund
ance. Other seetions report the heavi
est damage from the weevil in history.
That's the story throughout the whole
belt, and thV result is a crop of not more
than 10,500.000 bales.
The short crop, together with the fact
that there was little if any carry-over,
has sent cotton above the 30-eent level
on the New York exchange. The farm
ers. it is true, will get as much for their
cotton as they would have gotten for a
full crop, perhaps.
The boll weevil is not wholly respon
sible for the good prices, however. The
co-operative associations in the various
Southern States have kept hundreds of
bales from the market, and their action
has had a tendency to increase the price
for the staple.
NVitli 30-cent cotton the farmers can
make money, counting even what they
lost through the efforts of the weevil and
bad weather. If a full crop had been
produced the price might have dropped to
the ten or tifteeu cent level, and the
country would have been worse off than it
# will be with the short crop and 30-cent
prices. ®
ADMITS ITS MISTAKE BUT—
The Glenn Eagle Sentinel, published in
the Stare of Kansas, made a mistake
in one of its recent issues. The editor
acknowledged the mistake, but he added:
‘•A good subscribed told us about it
(the mistake). The same day there was
a letter in our postofiiee box that did
not belong to us. We called for ninety
eight over the telephone and got 198.
We asked for a spool of No. 50 thread
and when we IP 1 home we found it was I
No. 90. The train was reported thirty
minutes late. We arrived at the depot
>: twenty miuutes after train time and the
train wus gone. We got our milk bill
and there was a mistake of 10 cents in
our favor. We felt sick and the doctor
I said we were eating too much meat. We
hadn't tasted meat for two months. The
garage man said the jitney was missing
because it needed a new timer. We
cleaned a spark plug and it's run fine
ever since. Yes, wc made a mistake in
last tveek's issue of the paper."
Eg Governors seem to be having a hard
. time in getting their rights before the
! people. Governor Walton has taken Ok
labour! in his grnsp, or rather he has
V v attempted to do so, and when the legis-
had a right to investigate prison eondi
. tious over which he has control. That is
r causing a tumult in that State. '

1 MILITARY RI LE HELD BY
JUDGE TO BE SUPREME
>
■ Oklahoma Court Dismisses Habeas Cor
pus PeitioriSi—Prisoners Are Heid.
Tulas.' Okln., Sept. ’2o.—Military pow
er is supreme in Oklahoma. Judge A. C.
Ilpht ruled today in district court, in
dismissing petitions for habeas corpus
tiled in behalf of three men held hy mil
itary officers here for participation in
Tulsa county floggings.
Notice of exception to the ruling was t
i tiled by State Senator Wash Hudson,
I counsel for the petitioners. The issue
probably will go to the Supreme four).
General .Markham, the state's military I
commander under martial law. appeared I
! iu Judge Hunt's court iu answer to sum
j mens from a civil officer, but he was ,
permitted to retain custody of the three (
confessed and sentenced floggers, Grover
and Ben Sikes and Earl Sack, in whose ,
behalf the petitions were .filed.
Judge Hunt said there was nothing
“illegal or unauthorized in the action of 1
Adjutant General It. H. Markham in 1
holding the men for testimonies before I
the Wagoner county grand jury in con- I
nection with the flogging investigation I
there."
The judge prefaced his decision with
a lengthy explanation of his views re
garding the right of the civil courts un
der martial law, in which he declared
that "this court has functioned in the
full exercise of its lawful power since
the governor's proclamation and will rec
ognize no interference by the military.”
He believed the state-wide martial law
unjist’l'ed.
The decision was acclaimed a victory
by all parties.
Within a few hours of the decision,
word was received from Wagoner county
that seven men against whom the de
tained trio were expected to testify had
been indicted by the grand jury, thus
opening the way for the release’ of the
convicted men to the civil authorities.
It was expected that the transfer would
, ho made within 24 hours. Those named
in the Wagorner county return are:
A. M. Calloway, William Bills. Avery
Barbour, T. V. Venator. Hal Beaman.

Yankees Again Clinch Pennant in
, American.
New Y'ork, Sept. 20—The New York
Yankees today clinched the 1923 Ameri
, Van championship, their third successive
jpennaut victory, by defeating St. Louis
1 tat the stadium. 4 to 3. The Yankees,
"'ho have made a run away of this
season's race, now can lose all of their
remaining 13 games and. still finish at
the top. even if Cleveland, in second
j place, wins all of its remaining 19
games.
Should the Yankees lose and Cleve
land win all of heir remaining games,
the final standing would be:
New York: woti 93. lost 91. percent
age .904; Cleveland: won 92. lost 92.
percentage .597.
By clinching the pennant today, two
and a half weeks before the scheduled
end of the season, the Yankees have
scored one of the most decisive victories
in the history of the league. They now
hold a margin of 17 games over the
second place Indians.
The Yankees have set the pace prac
tically from the start and have not been
seriously threatened since midseason.
Challenged first by Connie Mack's
Athletics, who spurted sensationally in
the spring, and later by Cleveland’s
rally, the Y'ankees stood off these
threats and maintained a championship
stride while their rivals fell 'by the
wayside. *

What {he World Is (Doing,
E CMS SEEN BY c MECHANICS (^MAGAZINE
Thrills Made to Order in the Movies
HANGING by the keels on a 6-inch
ledge with the stseet cavern yawning
(3 stories below is no trick at all—-in the
tarries. Missing a foothold on the edge
tt a tall bnilding and being caught by the
hands of a clock 10 floors above the earth,
however, contains almost as many thrills
for the actor as it does for the spectators.
For these are the days of realign in pic
tures, the result of a ceaseless demand on,
the part of a public long accustomed to see
ing speeding automobiles plunge over steep
stiffs, death-defying leaps into a raging
turf, and airplane crashes, for more thrills.
In some eases “doubles” are employed
to take the place of the star far the more
hazardous undertakings. Dressed and
made up to resemble the actor, they brave
death in leaps from speeding trains to air
planes, jump over cliffs, and ride motor
gjrctes into locomotives with no chance of
pinning either fame or glory.
Many risks, however, are taken by the |
■fears. In one instance, daring the filming

Automobile la Just One of the "Stunts" De

Bureau of Standards at Washington the
Scene of a Terrific Explosion.
Washington. Sept. 20.—An explosion
of gas at the bureau of standards here
today resulted in the death of three men.
the injury to six others, and the com- 1
plete wrecking of the fuel-testing lab
oratory.
It was the most serious accident in j
he history of the bureau, whose exports
daily are confronted with the task of
testing every conceivable product of •
American industry. \
L. L. of Lower Salem,- Ohio, -
was killed almost instantly, and U. J. *
Cook, of Washington, P. ('., and Stephen (
M. Lee, of New London. Conn., died to
night from their injuries. [
James E. Kindig. of Salunga, I’a., was*'
critically injured. Roger Birdsall, of
Washington: Clarence W. Eliott, of
Lynn, Hlass., and F. E. Richardson, of
Washington, are seriously hurt. Her
bert W. Cuniming. of Warren. Mass.,
and Curtis M. Smith, of Washington, re
ceived less serious injuries.
All of the victims were engaged in
scientific work at the bureau.
An internal combustion engine was be
ing tested at the time of the explosion.
Officials said they believed gasoline was
the sole cause of the accident, although
the presence, of exhaust gas from the mo
tor and a spark from some source would
have given a similar result. Most of
the victims were employes standing out
side the building or near the doorway.
The detonation rocked the vicinity of
the laboratory for a distance of 500
yards, and a large automobile and sev
eral airplane motors were hurled through
the air. ,

; watcher was stationed there to pull her
from the water as ehe swept past. But, in-i
stead, the current swept her to the other
side of the stream and she would have been
dashed over the falls to certain death had
not her secretary rescued her.
In making a picture of a man climbing
the side of a budding and doing apparently
perilous stunts many floors above the
street, a real building was selected and a
circa# performer employed to double for
the actor in the “long shots.” Then a fake
building was built on top of the real one.
The “set” was built in far enough so that
the roof would break any fall and also
would provide a platform for the camera
By “ shooting ’ ’ at a proper affile, however,
the drop to the street looked straight down.

Use Iron to Float Logs of
Heavy Wood to Sea
In logging timber tracts in South
America and the West Indian islands, the
heavier wood, which is not sufficiently
light to float, has always proved difficult
to move. One firm recently solved this
problem by using “floaters," made of rust
resisting iron, by means of which the
heavy' timber was rafted down a river to
the sea. .

’ Preventing Stream Erosion
Along many streams it is necessary to
hold the bank back in some efficient and
cheap inanner, otherwise* the ground will
be washed away. An excellent method of
preventing this is shown in the drawing.
A woven-wire fence is erected where the
new water edge is to be made, the, fesee
posts being driven into the bed of the
stream. Brush and saplings are then de
posited as indicated, the branches pointing
away from the water, and the butts in
serted into the fencing. Earth is thrown
on the brush to make the wall solid, and in
a short time the new bank is knit together
by marsh grasses and rushes.
